SCHOLARSHIPS Welcome from the Headmaster BURSARIES AND SCHOLARSHIPS Welcome from the Headmaster Combining a 250-year-old tradition with a modern outlook Bedford Modern School is an unpretentious, tolerant community where our students can flourish as individuals. We inspire them all to develop a sense of curiosity and a love of learning by providing a breadth of stimulating academic opportunities and an extensive co-curricular programme with the focus on participation, enjoyment and achievement. The BMS community is inclusive, extensive and down to earth and we want students to leave us with high academic attainment but also the emotional intelligence and self-awareness that allows them to adapt and flourish in the fast-paced world in which we live. Our means-tested bursaries and Sixth Form scholarships have been devised to provide an outstanding opportunity for students with potential either academically or within the Creative Arts or Sport. The decision to award a bursary is based on the level of an individual’s performance in the annual entrance assessments and given at the discretion of the Awards Committee which meets once a year in the spring term. If you feel that you can make the most of the opportunities here at BMS, want to develop your talents still further and enrich the lives of those around you then please come and visit us and see what we have to offer. Alex Tate Headmaster 2 • bedmod.co.uk Introduction All bursaries are means tested and the amount will, therefore, vary according to family circumstances. They can range from a small percentage of the fees up to payment of the full amount. We offer both academic and subject-specific bursaries in Sport, Art, Performance Arts, Music, IT and Design Technology. You may apply for bursaries in the following year groups: • Academic – Years 7, 8, 9, 10 and 12 • Music – Years 7, 9 and 12 • Sport – Years 9 and 12 (and in exceptional circumstances Year 7) • Art, Design Technology and IT (ADIT) – Year 12 • Performance Arts – Year 12 Please note: we have a limited fund to provide assistance with fees and assistance is not guaranteed if a place is offered. The Application Process 1. Complete and return the Registration Form together with the Registration Fee (£100) and a copy of your child’s birth certificate. 2. On the Registration Form ensure that you have ticked the appropriate box on the bottom of the first page. 3. You will then receive further details regarding the online bursary application process. The deadline for submitting the bursary application including your financial information is 01 December 2019. 4. In addition, if you are applying for a bursary in Music, Sports, ADIT or Performance Arts, this additional paperwork will be emailed to you and once received please complete and return to our admissions team by 01 December 2019 or email [email protected] 5. Notification of bursaries awarded will be included in the individual offer letters which are sent out in February. (Please note that any offers are provisional at that stage based on the financial information you have supplied.) 6. Bursaries awarded are re-assessed annually. bedmod.co.uk • 3 Academic Bursaries Students wishing to enter Years 7, 8, 9, 10 and 12 are able to apply for an Academic Bursary. • It is likely that students will be in the top 10% of all candidates sitting assessments in each respective year group. • For those wishing to enter Year 12, students must also show an intellectual inquisitiveness in the assessment interviews and be predicted 9 or 8 in the subjects they wish to study with most if not all other subjects predicted 8 or better. Specialist Bursaries Students will need to pass the entrance assessments before being considered for a specialist bursary. They may then be invited into School for a subject-specific assessment in January, details for which follow. Joining BMS in Year 7, I was originally very apprehensive; the notion of a ‘private school’ bore heavily on my mind as a lifestyle of hard work and pressure. However, the past seven years of my school life have been utterly incredible. BMS can only be described as a place of opportunity, where everyone’s talents and interests are explored in collaboration with friendly and passionate members of staff. 4 • bedmod.co.uk Sports The vast majority of sports bursaries are awarded for entry into Year 9 and occasionally Year 12, however and whilst it would be unusual, there may be an extremely talented individual entering Year 7 that we would consider. All applicants must obtain supporting references from their respective coaches (for example: county, academy, high performance). Criteria: Entry into the relevant year group. Area 1: Elite Performer (any sport) The student is performing at regional level with the credentials (attitude, athletic ability, commitment and desire) to progress to a higher level with the support of BMS. The athlete will already be identified by their National Governing Body (NGB) and would be expected to be either: • competing at junior regional level • nationally ranked (subject to sport) • attending a professional club or academy. Area 2: Core Sports (Rugby, Hockey, Football, Netball, Cricket, Rowing) A student would be expected to be a minimum of county standard in one or more of these sports. Area 3: Associate Sports (Athletics, Tennis, Water Polo, Table Tennis, Skiing) Consideration would be given to an applicant who participates in one of our associate sports. A student would be expected to be a minimum of county standard in one or more of these sports. Where there are mitigating circumstances in Areas 2 and 3 above, for example the sport does not have a county structure in place at that age group, the player would be expected to excel in his or her club or school team. Assessment: Stage 1: All applications will be considered by a Sports Bursary Committee and those that are successful will move on. Stage 2: An evidence-based assessment with a process specific to each individual application. The assessment may include one of the following: • Observing the applicant performing at their highest level of competition (live or by video) • Testing of physical ability through a number of recognised fitness tests (strength, power, speed, agility, VO2 Max) • Testing of generic sporting ability or sport-specific ability through drill-based assessment or small-sided games (subject to sport). Stage 3: A formal interview. bedmod.co.uk • 5 Music Bursaries are available on all instruments or voice in any style of music.

  • Newsletter December 2017
    Newsletter December 2017 GOLDINGTON ACADEMY IS THE PLACE TO BE! New email address: [email protected] Engaging minds. Nurturing success. Inspiring futures. PRINCIPAL’S INTRODUCTION Once again it has been an incredible term, and this newsletter provides only the highlights! It gives me great pleasure to see how the young people of Goldington Academy embrace the opportunities that their teachers provide for them at school. As Christmas approaches, I have been particularly pleased to see us doing more work in the community. Last week, our choir sang at The Mallards and Kimbolton Lodge, and our community ambassadors led a Christmas craft activity with the residents, who loved the activity, as did our children who learned from Gwen (103 years old) what teaching was like ‘in the good old days’. Our community work is just one example of new initiatives here at school. We are constantly looking to provide a rich, exciting and stimulating extra-curricular provision that can bring out the individual talents of each child. Some examples of that curriculum include: Robotics and STEM; Parkour; Gardening Club and, of course, the myriad of sports clubs and competitions that take place. Our sporting success continues as the Year Five and Six girls’ football team became District Champions and both the girls’ and boys’ Year Seven and Eight teams were crowned District Sportshall Champions last week. In addition, our Arts Department have had a busy term. I particularly enjoyed our Act!17 performance of ‘Pandora’s Box’ at Bedford Modern School’s ‘Greek Myths’ collaboration. Call me biased, but I personally felt our performance was the best! Well done to Mr Stratton and all the young actors who were involved.

  • Student Achievement Celebrated at Awards Evening See Page 9
    Bedford Highlights Academy News and Views from Bedford Academy Winter 2015 Student Achievement Celebrated at Awards Evening See page 9 Inside this issue: • Students Rise to the Challenge • Glittering Awards Evening Celebrates • You Said - We Did! on Outward Bound Trip Student Achievement Welcome A message from Bedford Academy Principal, Mrs Smith. Students and staff are looking forward to a well-deserved rest during the festive period. You can read in this Newsletter about some of the varied and interesting activities students have had the opportunity to take part in during the last few months, including a report on an exciting, albeit a rather wet and windy, Outward Bound trip to Aberdovey in Wales. Just before the October half-term break, the school was visited by Ofsted and I am pleased to be able to confirm that Bedford Academy remains a good school. Some of the key strengths identified by the inspectors were that pupils in all year groups are making better than expected progress in many subjects; the Academy’s ethos, which aims to develop character in all pupils, is at the heart of its success; and that the Academy provides a high quality and well maintained learning environment for pupils. A copy of the full report is available online via the Academy’s website. I would like to thank you for all your on-going support as we progress on our journey to be outstanding. Students have also been working very hard in preparing for our whole school performance of Grease the Musical. All students, both on stage and behind the scenes, deserve a huge round of applause for all their hard work and commitment.

Bedfordshire Borough and Central Bedfordshire libraries offer a wealth of resources, for more detailed information see the Virtual Library: www.bedford.gov.uk or www.centralbedfordshire.gov.uk Click on Libraries Click on Local and Family History Click on People The Local Studies section at Bedford Central Library also holds an archive of newspaper cuttings, biography files, an obituary index, local periodicals and books, including A Bedfordshire Bibliography by L.R. Conisbee, which has a large biography section. 2 Bedfordshire People Past Offa (? -796 BC) King Offa, regarded as one of the most powerful kings in early Anglo-Saxon England, ruled for 39 years from 757 to his death in 796. It is traditionally believed that he was buried in Bedford, somewhere near Batts Ford. Falkes De Breaute (1180-1225) A French soldier and adventurer, Falkes's loyalty to King John was rewarded with a number of titles. The king also gave him Bedford Castle, which Falkes held until 1224 when it was besieged and demolished by King Henry III. Falkes escaped and fled to the continent but died on route from food poisoning. Queen Eleanor (1244-1290) The sad death of Queen Eleanor links her to Dunstable. She died in Lincolnshire and King Edward 1st – her husband – wanted her to be buried in Westminster, thus the body was taken back to London and passed through Dunstable. The king ordered memorial crosses to be erected at every place the funeral cortege stopped overnight.
